    Now I'm trying to fresh install xp from the xp disc onto the old computer which is not connected to the net.

    unfortunately for some reason, when i restart computer and boot thru the disk and i get to the XP Licensing Agreement, it ask:

    to agree to agreement: press F8

    to disagree: press Esc.

    when i hit F8 to agree nothing happens.

    i can hit esc and it will take me back thru the boot from cd process.

    what do you think is wrong?

    If you're using a USB keyboard try using a PS/2 keyboard. Or try another keyboard of the same type.

    googled it and got F-Lock button and that solved it.


    thanks for your help
